Important Information for Students

 The criteria each task relates to are shown against that task where possible.

 Please note that plagiarism is treated as a serious offence and therefore the work you
produce must be individual and original although may work in groups in some
instances (Please refer to Student Handbook on Plagiarism & Cheating).

 All sources of information must be referenced using “Harvard referencing” where a

reference list/Bibliography should be included at the end of the assignment.

 Please note that the submission date given for this assignment is the final date that
you can hand over the assignment. A one week grace period maybe extended with
prior approval from the Program Manager – Undergraduate.

 Assignments returned to students for re-working must be re-submitted within 10 days

(Please refer to Student Handbook on Assignments – Re-submission).

 Failure to re-submit the previously marked assignment with the re-submitted

assignment will mean that results cannot be released for the respective unit.

 Please read, follow and reference both the contents of the unit outline and the grading
criteria of the assignment before completing this assignment.

Introduction

An energy audit is an inspection, survey and analysis of energy flows, for energy
conservation in a building, process or system to reduce the amount of energy input into the
system without negatively affecting the output. In commercial and industrial real estate, an
energy audit is the first step in identifying opportunities to reduce energy expense and carbon
footprints.

Task 1
Select a suitable industrial premises (site), develop a data capturing template to suite the
selected site. The site should be selected as such at least it contains the followings.
1. Motor application / or HAVC application greater than 10 kW / Thermal application like
a boiler.
2. Lighting applications.

Your data capturing template should be design as such it capture all the necessary
information such as the component, location of the component, number of such components in
the premises, name plate data of the component, the actual load connected to the component if
applicable and any information collected by talking to the system users.
You should attach your actual filled data capturing format you used in the survey.

Task 2
Find out the tariff applicable for the electricity supply to the site.
Determine
1. The total electrical load in kW.
2. Maximum KVAR demand and total electricity units used last month.
3. The load factor of the site.
4. Power factor of the incoming power
5. Efficiency and load factor of the largest motor Or of the largest thermal application
6. What is the maintenance policy

Task 3

Suggest an energy management system to improve the energy efficiency of the site. All
the calculations and cost effectiveness calculations should be included in the report.
